RE: scent control?
I am a freak about scent control. I go through a huge ritual before every hunt. I shower using scent elimination soap and dry off with a scent free towel that I have previously washed in scent free laundry detergent, along with a large amount of baking soda. EVERY article of clothing I wearhas been through the same process as the towel. I also use scent free mouth spray.On my way into my stand, I pack most of my clothing inmy back pack. I wear a Scent-lok base slayer suit and a pair of camo pants and rubber knee boots of course. Once at my stand, I put on my laying clothing, then I wear a scent-lok jumper suit, then I wear a scent-lok leafy wear suit. I use ascent-lok breath shield also. When I first purchased my scent-lok suits I was having great success, but as time went on, I was getting winded every once in a while. This season, I was winded several times. (Wind is difficult to hunt as it swirles in thearea I hunt) I beleive that the thermals and fog play a big factor in scent control. I tend to get windedmore when the fog has set in. I beleive that your scent is held in the area that you hunt longer, where if there was a breeze, the scent would be carried away and depleated.I don't like to useurine asa cover scent at the stand site as this odor stays at yourstand site long after you do, and the site gets worn out much faster.
Ibeleive inscent-lok clothing, but I too agree that it is only about 5 percent of your entire scent controlarsenal. Also, I tried the dead down wind products this year and i'm switching back to scent killer next year.
Good luck...
